CUFF-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 617,924, dated January 17, 1899.

Application filed September 4, 1897. Serial No. 650,561. (No model.)

will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in cuff-holders wherein a wire clasp is secured to the cuff and which is adapted to connect with a particularly-shaped pin secured to the inner side of the coat-sleeve. v

The object of my improvement is to afford means for securing the cuff in a manner adapted to maintain the position of the cuff in relation to the coat-sleeve. I attain this object by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective showing the device complete as it appears when attached to the cufi, and Fig. 2 is a plan of the fastener.

The numerals of reference indicate the several parts illustrated in the drawings.

The holder proper consists of a piece of wire formedinto a loop 2, the end of the wire being upturned, terminating with a small hook adapted to engage the middle of said wire. The hook 4 is a continuation of the same wire, is turned forward in a plane parallel with the loop 2, and is provided with a downwardly-extending crook 5, which normally rests in contact with the said wire.

The pin consists of a piece of wire in which c is formed the loop 7. One end of this Wire terminates with the small hook 9, which is adapted to engage the other end 8 of the same wire near its extremity, this portion being slightly curved and terminating with a sharply-pointed end.

In using my improved device the holder is secured to the cuff by releasing the hook 6 and passing that portion of the holder through the registeringbuttonholes of the end. The hook 6 is then replaced. The pin is then se-' cured to the lining of the coat-sleeve by re leasing the hook 9 and hooking the pin 8 through a portion of the lining and then se curing the pin by said hook to prevent it from becoming detached. The hook 4. of the holder is then passed through the loop 7 of the pin, the crook 5 preventing it from acci= dental detachment.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is I In a device for securing cuffs, the combi= nation of a cuif-holder consisting of a wire formed into the loop 2 having the hook 6 for closing said loop, and the hook 4 having the crook 5 and a pin consisting of a wire formed into the loop 7 one end of said wire having the hook 9, and the other end being formed into the pin 8 with an upturned pointed end adapted to be engaged by the hook 9, sub-' stantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN M. CROWE.
